I can bill some medical insurance plans for medical eye problems. Some do require a referral from your primary care doctor before you can see me for a visit. Please check with your insurance if you are not sure. All HMO plans require a referral.
Eye Allergies, Eye Infections, Dry Eyes. Note: I do basic tests for eye diseases including glaucoma & cataracts. I refer out for more extensive tests and treatment when I feel it is needed.
Macular Degeneration
Book – Highly recommended! Ancestral Dietary Strategy to Prevent and Treat Macular Degeneration by Cris Knobbe, M.D. Availble on Amazon and Kindle. This dietary strategy can be applied to almost all eye and general health problems! While I don’t agree with everything here it is a great book.
Cataracts
My exams include a complete health history as well as routine tests for cataracts, glaucoma, and neurological diseases. For most eye and vision problems I prefer the most conservative and natural treatments possible. I try to educate my patients on the use of good nutrition practices, high quality safe supplements, and alternative therapies when they are appropriate and warn you when they are not. I will quickly refer you to other specialists anytime I feel like extra testing or expertise is needed that I cannot provide.
